Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

So long as we're typecasting entire coastlines by a single region of a single state, I'm just going to make Miami, Florida my "east coast."

The only car that I love seeing a bike on top of is a Subaru for some reason. There is just something beautiful about it...

yep. it's technically a time/space anomaly. it's actually located somewhere between fresno and las vegas circa four years ago.

it's what happens when bronzer/self-tanner or tanning beds are unfortunately perceived to be a cool.

I bet jersey has the highest capita of ball-waxers in the western world.

Are you guys seriously just discovering the whole NJS/JDM wank-fest connection?

It's the same crap, just as stupid on both ends for different reasons.
